"Ridin' Dirty"

"You want to search this joint officer? It'll be my pleasure!"

The ole timers would always say, "If you haven't experienced joy or pain just keep on living. Cuz at some point you'll meet both of them in the parking lot. What you do with them will determine how successful you'll become." Sometimes it seems like nothing is going your way and you just can't catch a break but if you keep on keepin' on like the ole cat in the barber shop playing checkers would always say, you'll come out on the other side just fine. The word of God says in Romans 5:3 "Not only so, we also glory in our sufferings because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; character, hope."

Well... LeBron James persevered after the 2011 Finals loss to the Dallas Mavericks and put in work. He spent the summer with Hakeem Olajuwon trying to improve his post game and it all paid off. He was a beast from the start of the 2012 season until he pulled the Maybach into the garage with major work when it was over. He had the Larry O'Brien Trophy riding shotgun, the Finals MVP and the Regular season MVP holding it down in the back seats. Last night his crew made a quick run through the ESPYS, popped the trunk and picked up the Male Athlete of the Year, the Championship Performance of the Year and the NBA Player of the Year awards. Oh by the way they had to strap the Best Team Award to the hood of the ride because the Heat won that joint too!

What was so crazy was that LeBron wasn't even there because he was in Vegas with the rest of the U.S. Olympic Team preparing for the London Olympics. So guess who was driving the Maybach last night bruh? Good ole Juwan! He was leaning in that joint with Mike Miller like two old Chicago gangsta's on the south side pulling out of Harold's Chicken! They were suited and booted and I know they wanted to straighten that middle finger for LeBron but they didn't. Ya'll know I clowned Juwan all season for wearing his street clothes under his warm up and for ordering too much food on the bench during games but that's my guy. As long as he didn't scratch the ride or the hardware last night we're cool!

"Two ole pimps!"

I'm just glad to see LeBron on the other side of the venom but winning normally cures all of that. You can't hate a boy that's bustin' heads and taking names. I know all of the haters were back in the ER last night but they're even starting to turn them away at the hospital because it's a waste of time and money to treat them because they keep coming back.

 As soon as boyz pulled up they had a nurse out there holding a sign that says, "If you got "LeBroninucliosis" we ain't treating that anymore so keep it movin'! Stop hatin' and it'll go away. Just except the fact that this cat is the best player on the planet and he's figured out the combination to the safe. So he's about to get in that joint for the next 3 years at least. If I were you I'd jump on the band wagon and ride with him. Otherwise, you're gonna keep showing up in here and we ain't got nothin' but love for you like Heavy D!"

Ole Otis was on the other end of the parking lot saying the same thing but in pure Otis form though! "Keep it movin' deir boi just keep it movin'! Let me see how you bite the side of that tongue deir boi? Yep, you got it, but you gotta keep it movin' deir boi cuz yo momma don't work here!"

Let this be a lesson to all of the young cats out there. You've got to be willing to work through the pain and defeat. You can't give up when things aren't going your way. LeBron is the best player in the world and he had to go through it. What makes you think that you won't have to do the same? Champions are not born they're made bruh!

Holla At Ya Boy!
